Abstract

En 中文
In this paper, we propose a novel method for mobile robot localization and navigation based on multispectral visual odometry (MVO). The proposed approach consists in combining visible and infrared images to localize the mobile robot under different conditions (day, night, indoor and outdoor). The depth image acquired by the Kinect sensor is very sensitive for IR luminosity, which makes it not very useful for outdoor localization. So, we propose an efficient solution for the aforementioned Kinect limitation based on three navigation modes: indoor localization based on RGB/depth images, night localization based on depth/IR images and outdoor localization using multispectral stereovision RGB/IR. For automatic selection of the appropriate navigation modes, we proposed a fuzzy logic controller based on images' energies. To overcome the limitation of the multimodal visual navigation (MMVN) especially during navigation mode switching, a smooth variable structure filter (SVSF) is implemented to fuse the MVO pose with the wheel odometry (WO) pose based on the variable structure theory. The proposed approaches are validated with success experimentally for trajectory tracking using the mobile robot (Pioneer P3-AT).
